Abstract:
The paper is concerned with an extremal problem of combinatorial analysis on finding the minimal possible number of edges in an $n$-regular hypergraph with chromatic number greater than $r$ and girth greater than $s$. A new lower estimate of this extremal value is obtained and a number of related results is proved.
